Co.
was organized on the 25th day of last month
and is a new name for the firm of B. A. AT
KINSON & CO., from whom all the readers
of the PRESS have been buying Chamber
Sets, Parlor Suites. Carpets, Stoves and
Ranges, Drapery Curtains, Bookcases, Side
boards, Dining Chairs, Dining Tables, hall
Stands, Mirrors, Hanging Lamps, Whatnots,
Corner stands, Dinner Sets, Tea Sets, Silver
Tea Services, Silver Water Pitchers, Silver
Knives and Forks, Silver Spoons, and all
kinds of articles necessary to the complete
furnishing of home or hotel.
And the only difference between the two
concerns is in the name, as the same manage
ment will still continue to operate the bust
ness throughout the length and breadth Of
New England.
The Atkinson House Furnishing Company
is the only establishment in the United
States which prepays the freight in every In
stance. By this we mean to say that our
freight bills are paid when we ship the goods
from the store, and are not left to be source
Of bother and inconvenience to the purchas-
er, to be paid when the goods reach their des-
tination.
The Atkinson House Furnishing Co. has
never under the old name. nor will it under
the new, shirk any responsibility to make
good any breakage or misunde rstanding that
may exist either when the goods are bought
in person from our statesmen, or when they
are bought through the mail, as we make
every break good and prepay every bill of
freight on the goods to their destination.
We especially request correspondence
through the mail and hold our selves in read
lness at all times to forward catalogues, pho
tographs, cuts and descriptions of goods, al
so samples of Carpets. and can assure all the
readers of the PRESS that we shall endeayor
In the future as we have done in the past to
satisfy everyone who favors us either with
an inquiry through the mail, or by coming in
person, and we can assure those who can
not treat with us dire city at our stores that
we will serve them through the mails as
though they were here in person. We have
even increased our enormous stock, and adj
ded new lines and new features, that cannot
help but commend themselves to every per-
son who is in want of house furnishings.
Our increased facilities, increased purchases
for our enormous sales enables us to quote
even lower prices than ever, and we have no
hesitation in saying that where parties can
not visit us, and can wait few days and
correspond with us through the mails, we
can save them from 10 to Is per cent on their
purchases.
The Atkinson House Furnishing Co., with
the various branches, will do over million
and quarter of business, and buy in the
neighborhood of million dollars worth of
goods, which place it at the top of the COM
panies in our line doing business in New
England, being considered now the largest
purchases in the business. We are, of
course, in position to handle enormous
blocks of goods at greatly reduced prices,
that small concerns cannot possibly handle,
and we can assure every reader of this arti-
Gle that we can and will save them one profit
at least in all the goods they shall buy.
We wish especially at this time to call at
tention to our contract system, whereby we
sell goods, and give anywhere from three
months to two years credit, depending ON
the quantity of goods purchased. We sell
any kind of house furnishing goods for a
quarter of the amount down at the time of
purchase, and the balance by the week or
month. If the payments are paid promptly
we do not charge any interest, thereby put
ting every man i'll the same position to buy
goods by our system and pay for them in
easy weekly or monthly payments, as
though he possessed all the cash at the time
of purchase.
We further have no hesitation in SAYING
that no house in these New England States,
is in better position or can use you any
better, more honestly, or ship you more
any line of goods that you may re-
quest, than the Atkinson House Furnishing
Co.
furnish your home and enjoy home COM
forts and Injuries while paying for them.
The young folks will feel better, will think
more of their homes, and will help you paw
for the goods as the payments come due.
There is nothing in the line of house furnish
ings from silver spoon, feather bed, cook
ing range, window shade, clothes pins,
chamber set, or odd chair. table, towel
rack. potato FOUNDER, dashboard or anything
else necessary for home comfort, or for lux
ury in the home, that we do not keep and
will not supply at the very shortest notice.
whether for cash at the time of purchase or
for quarter of the amount down, and the
balance by the week or month.

store for full particulars of the various lines
of goods, and please remember that we carry
